She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I am beyond thrilled, I worked with the Walt Disney Company for the past year, and was offered to attend the D23 expo starting today and the next few days. Unfortunately, I decided not to go, and now I'm regretting it. As a disclaimer, I did know about this new film BUT i had no idea about Shakira being in it.

Its great promotion, expect her to visit LA a lot, specifically Burbank because that is where the main Disney studios are located. I wish I still had backstage access to the theme parks, as I used to, because I'm sure she will visit them as well.

If you go see Inside Out, theres a preview to this movie, but you can also find it on youtube (I'm not sure how to post youtube videos on here).

But anyway, this is great news, I wish I could welcome Shakira personally to this amazing company. She's gonna have a lot of things coming up now, Disney doesn't play when it comes to promotion, etc.

Still mad that I didn't go to this

OMFG I was just reading about it on a Disney forum. I always wanted Shakira to be a voice in a Disney film I am beyond thrilled this is even better than a tour or an album for me XD AAAAAAAAH I first saw the outfit and thought "this looks like Shakira" and then I died when I actually read SHAKIRA. AAAAh I can die in peace now (well after watching the film).

I hope Shakira will be offered other Disney opportunities. This is amaziiing

I think (said it in another thread) that Shakira should milk this as much as she can and not only do the English voice/song, but also the Latin Spanish, the Spanish Spanish and the BR Portuguese and maybe even the POR Portuguese versions too. Reap the perks of multilingualism, queen!

Yes, yes and YES She must do the Latin Spanish and Spaing Spanish one as well as Brazilian/PT and Fu*ck it even French. After all she's gonna play a popstar and I'm gonna trash any french singer that dares la la la to voice Shakira in french. (I'm not angry I just wans Shakira world domination) She should totally do that. She was already in the Wizards of Selena Gomez's place. I'd love her to milk that cow until it's bone dry.

My coworker also had tickets to D23 in Anaheim today...she asked me if I wanted to go but I'm not a Disney fan at all so I declined. Didn't see this coming or I would've gone! This is pretty exciting! I remember she went to visit Disneyland there while she was filming The Voice (with only Gerard)...I wonder if it had anything to do with this?
